DHS is expanding its use of administrative subpoenas, which don’t come from judges.
Might be a naive question but what prevents instance admins here on Lemmy to also give this information?
You would hope the corporate collaborators of this fascist regime will one day get their comeuppance. Sadly, if the history of corporate collaborators in Nazi Germany is anything to go by, most likely not much will happen to them or their officers…
Don’t worry, they’ll be punished, and you’ll never hear from them again. For example, have you ever heard of Hugo Boss, Volkswagen, Adidas, Coca-Cola, Ford, Fanta, BMW, Siemens, Bayer, or IBM?
the reason they got away is because the Germans expected the cops to handle the nazi cops. when a more hands on solution would’ve been more expedient
Get ready for the next reddit exodus. Honestly I can’t wait.
Just installed Blorp and created this account.
Been meaning too, but my 3rd party app just became useless because of their API BS, so there’s that too.
I never even heard of Blorp.
That’s what makes this piece of the internet so cool.
I really liked the name.
It’s missing a bunch of basic stuff though, ATM.
Doesn’t even have a file access permission option to save pictures, but it appears to save when you click Download. Just does nothing. Have to click Share and ‘save with a file app’ or ‘copy to folder’ or whatever instead
A few missing features aside, it does work.
Welcome to the Fediverse
They still have 3rd party Reddit apps? And they fucked them on API use again? lol
They didn’t officially, apart from RedReader for accessibility reasons. But you could unofficially use some of the old apps with some minor hacks I think. Maybe they clamped down on it again.
I think all the people that are going to leave have left. I don’t see that many people griping about anything anymore. (I browse /r/all and I mod a couple of local subreddits, but otherwise don’t participate much anymore)
If you are a mod, then that’s the most kind of participating my guy
Would love for your mod experience to come over here!
There’s a lot of growth and community organization we need at Lemmy!
I think they were questioning your “otherwise don’t participate much” comment.
What did you think they were saying?
Seems like you responded to the wrong person
But the Dow.
I’ve noticed Reddit comments are slowly but surely getting outnumbered with ICE sympathizer comments.
Any video I saw of the high school kid punching the ICE instigator had thousands of comments that are Pro-ICE. They are typically aggressive and taunting. The amount of bot posts and comments are ridiculous too.
Are there bot commentors on Lemmy?
I just migrated, don’t really know all the ins and outs yet.
Most that hit Lemmy are pretty damn obvious and get banned quickly by mods and instance admins.
So far the slightly more complex reddit style ones haven’t been turned on us yet. Probably don’t think the smaller userbase is worth the effort.
I suspect these more advanced Reddit bots are given some kind of special access via private APIs or other backend integration from the Reddit staff / devs themselves.
Which they won’t get here. Of course, the whole thing is open source, so they could modify that as needed and run it on their own instances. Of course, those instances would then be easy to spot and defederate. And on and on.
Sometimes I think there are provacateurs on here, saying we should do something about so and so and so forth. Trying to do the old FBI trick of creating terrorism where there isn’t any.
Don’t forget get all the anti Kamala “leftists” during the election.
On one hand, I’m so glad to be British and not living under Trump’s jurisdiction.
But on the other hand, I don’t think I’m gonna be visiting the USA anytime soon, unless I feel like being detained by ICE or turned away at the border for being critical of the orange man and the Gestapo he’s empowered.
Canadian here. One of my girlfriends lives in Ohio.
She comes to visit us. Not the other way around. Even if this administration burns to the ground, it’s going to take a long time to renew my trust in America to ever step foot in that country again. I used to travel there. I used to deliver there as a truck driver. I spent a lot of time in America.
Not anymore. I’m in my late 30s and I may never visit America ever again after this.
Das war bei uns genauso, absolut nicht überraschend. Viel Glück weiterhin.
But not Lemmy right… right?
lol Fuck ICE, they will get what’s coming once midterms happen. Especially those that have hurt or murdered people.
I wanna say lemmy is to small for them to care right now. They got enough to monitor with those 3 alone. Definitely one day though.
They’re here, they’re just on shifts and are approximately 7-30 accounts, depending on time. Hopefully, it stays around that.
Nothing is going to happen to them come midterms. I’ll only believe something good can happen in this country after it happens.
I’m trying to manifest it like Oprah would’ve wanted.
She’d also want to platform people like Mehmet Oz (who hasn’t been a doctor since several years before he ran for Senate), Dr Phil, and John of God.
So maybe don’t fall for her bullshit 🤷
Im so surprised that the most powerful big tech companies are not there to do the right thing.
In about 10 years we will be reading articles like “Do you remember Reddit, Meta and Google?”. This shit can only go on for so long before other alternatives present themselves.
Amazon, Microsoft and Google run so much cloud infrastructure that it’s not in the power of ordinary peasants like us to even make a dent in their business. When we use pretty much anything online we’re helping support them. And US corporations have little incentive to leave those services because the end users don’t even know what they use for their backends. Foreign governments and companies are the main organizations that have the power to make an impact on big US tech by taking their cloud business elsewhere.
Google are still a major player because they hold monopolies in several markets. I see them as “too big to fail.”
No other platform does long form user-generated video content like YouTube. The only other smartphone, tablet and smart watch OS that even holds a candle to Android is a walled garden exclusive to the Apple ecosystem. Even in search they hold a near-total monopoly with around 85 - 95% of all search traffic going through them (depending on which source you ask and if they consider ChatGPT a search engine.) Even Microsoft offering gift card rewards for using Bing search wasn’t enough to convince people to try them.
Even in markets where they don’t have a monopoly… GMail is the most popular free email service, Fiber has silently grown to have service in 19 US states despite significant pushback and lobbying from rival internet service providers, they’re the only viable alternative to Microsoft in the office productivity software market, virtually every major web browser except for Firefox is built on Chromium, even Waymo is the only (non-Chinese) robotaxi service currently in operation although that market is potentially going to blow up.
Even in the generative AI market they’re not only whooping OpenAI’s and Microsoft’s asses, but can reliably hedge their bets on AI if the bubble does start burst.
I generally agree with you, with 2 caveats:
No other platform does long form user-generated video content like YouTube.
Dailymotion does it too.
Reproducing YouTube’s features isn’t the hardest. Getting its network effect is.
Even in the generative AI market they’re not only whooping OpenAI’s and Microsoft’s asses
I was barely able to remember the name of Google’s gen AI. It’s not really relevant in the corporate world. I don’t think they are close to whooping OpenAI and Microsoft’s asses.
Dailymotion does it too.
I forgot Dailymotion existed. Clicked on there, it’s just news sites and games journalists on the front page now. You can’t see view counts or any comments, and the site honestly feels like a husk of its former self.

Veo 3. It released weeks before and is almost up there with Sora 2 for output quality.
As for Microsoft, Copilot is absolute dogshit, whilst the quality of Windows 11 updates have nosedived to the point where Satya Nadella’s claim that the corporation is producing 30% AI generated code may actually be true, based on how much things have broken.
I wouldn’t count on that. People are too lazy to change.
Hugo Boss agrees.
